One of the First

A mean-looking RC airliner flew over Germany during an Airliner Meeting in 2015. According to its pilot and builder, it was the first – or at least one of the first RC models of the Airbus A400M.

Hannes Heppeā€™s aircraft measures almost 13ft in length with a wingspan of 12ft. To make flying a tad bit easier, it makes use of its eight-bladed scimitar props on each motor.Ā 

The surprisingly light 83-pound Airbus uses a 6000mAh six-cell pack per motor, enabling it to fly for seven minutes. Nevertheless, thatā€™s still a lot of time to impress the viewers at the event.

Unfortunately, we didnā€™t get to see one of the coolest features of the aircraft. Heppeā€™s A400M is capable of carrying parachutes that it can eject, mimicking the Airbusā€™ role in the military. Still, his A400M was a treat to watch fly in the blue skies.Ā
